### Presented by the city of Roubaix as part of its Ville d?Art et d?Histoire program, this exhibition invites you to discover the special history of Roubaix?s industrial buildings and the importance of their conversion to the city?s identity.
Models, artefacts and archive documents give visitors an insight into the city?s architectural and urban challenges, past and present.
Since the 19th century, Roubaix?s industrial boom has profoundly shaped its urban landscape, marked by factory architecture, workers? housing and public buildings. Faced with the decline of the textile industry in the second half of the 20th century, the city embarked on an ambitious conversion program, transforming its built heritage into new living, cultural and creative spaces. The exhibition invites you to follow this evolution, reflecting a city in constant reinvention.
**Exhibition preview,** free, open to all:
**Friday, September 5, from 6:30 pm
